Sad


from the ABC set Lovers, Liars and Just Good Friends.

If you are sad,
this too, will pass
- last no more than
the blink to clear a teardrop.

If you are sad,
you too will thrive
- rise high over
the shock that stopped our heartbeat.

If you are sad,
I too will weep
- keep faith with you,
the one that kept me breathing.

Really nice poem with great imagery.

Loved this line;
'- rise high over
the shock that stopped our heartbeat'

and all of verse 1 and 3. :)

new ewan
liked it all.so true to life!
one I kind remember bit "Iv'e found now
I will hold the christlight for you
in the night-time of your fear;
I will hold my hand out to you,
speak the peace you long to hear.

I will weep when you are weeping;
when you laugh, I'll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow
till we've seen this journey through
.
and then one day in church I went.
